Title: | Why do unions form peak bodies? The 1885 Brisbane Trades and Labour Council | Contributor(s): | Kellett, John (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8441 | Abstract: | The way in which the first Brisbane Trades and Labour Council formed in 1885 neatly illustrates the veracity of Ellem and Shields' hypothesis on the origins and founding purpose of peak labour bodies. The BTLC emerged from the Eight Hours Movement. Just as this Movement was elitist, exclusivist and wedded to the concept of the benevolent employer and the unity of the interests of capital and labour, so too did the BTLC exhibit these traits. Ellem and Shields' notion of internal and external causal factors, and the importance they place on the intersection of these factors, is, with some moderation in emphasis, a useful tool in understanding the origins of the Brisbane Trades and Labour Council. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AIRAANZ 2011: 25th Association of Industrial Relations Academics of Australia and New Zealand Conference: Dialouge Downunder, Auckland, New Zealand, 1st - 4th February, 2011 | Source of Publication: | Dialouge Downunder: Proceedings of the 25th Conference of the Association of Industrial Relations Academics of Australia and New Zealand (AIRAANZ) | Publisher: | Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand Work and Labour Market Institute | Place of Publication: | Auckland, New Zealand | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140203 Economic History | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 910401 Industrial Relations | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.nzwalmi.aut.ac.nz/news-and-media/airannz-conference-february-2011/airaanz-papers http://www.nzwalmi.aut.ac.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/212515/KellettAIRAANZ-2011.pdf |
